Sorry, Hockey Fan, but it was world war 2!. The action sweeps from prewar Cairo to wartime England to an abandoned villa in Tuscany at the end of WW2!. The time frame is approximately mid 1930s to 1945!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

WWI!.

Sorry, Janniel - I thought I remembered a bi-plane, hence my answer!.
